The Taoiseach should tell Members the Government does not intend to take €400 million from the poorest people in Ireland out of the social welfare budget. He should state the Government will not hit the disabled again, it will not hit class sizes and will not hit low and middle-income families. The Taoiseach should provide Members with such an assurance and that the Government is at least considering the possibility of imposing some of the burden on the corporate sector and on the very wealthy through wealth taxes, higher income taxes on higher earners or whatever. He should indicate whether the Government is even considering such measures.
